TOMATO PASTA SAUCE/PASTA RECIPES

 

I often make pasta of all kinds as Dhivya is fond of them.I normally use store bought sauces both white and tomato ones,but this time I thought of making it at home as I saw a nice recipe of tomato pasta sauce.As I started to make this sauce the whole place was filled with aroma and saucy air could be felt all through the kitchen.You can make all pasta varieties spiral,bow or any other type with this. Spaghetti tastes great with this.As it becomes difficult to cope up with hunger at odd times,this comes as a rescue most times.See down below easy tomato based pasta recipe..
